62: save5 Matching Social Status
"Matching social status???"
Lu Lele laughed in anger imdiately after hearing this.
"No, just for a reason like this? Is this still the feudal era now? Sister, surely you don't intend to forbid from dating freely?"
Lu Yanyan wasn't angry. She said calmly.
"If I really didn't allow it, I wouldn't have quietly called you over for a talk. I would have directly kicked Liu Lili out of the house."
"I don't oppose you, Lele, pursuing your true love. But I oppose you pursuing a girl from this kind of family."
Lu Yanyan's tone was very serious.
"My dear sister, you need to think carefully. What kind of people are Liu Lili's parents? You just ca into contact with them, so you should be very clear of their character."
"I don't an to look down on ordinary people. However, Liu Lili's parents exude a kind of commoner aura that makes feel very uncomfortable. Greedy, selfish, patriarchal. Lele, do you really hope for soone like that to beco your future mother-in-law?"
Lu Lele just imagined that scene for a mont and felt nauseous, unable to hold back a shiver.
But then, as if realizing sothing, she retorted.
"No, that's wrong, wrong. Sister, you're equivocating! It's clearly the romance between and Liu Lili. Why care so much about what family, what matching status? Isn't this forcibly linking love to material possessions?"
"As long as she and I love each other and are together forever, isn't that enough?"
"You might not care, but I do."
Lu Yanyan said.
"Lele, your life shouldn't be decided this early. You still have many choices."
"There are many girls from similar family backgrounds to yours, equally cute and charming, also lesbians. And their parents are very reasonable, willing to let their daughters be betrothed to another lovely flower."
"If you pursue a girl from that kind of family, I won't object."
"You will have a grand wedding. Many socialites will attend. Your wedding will be made into a promotional video for the Tangerine City sexual minorities, LGBT. Many people will be able to see your happy and blissful selves."
"But, if you pursue Liu Lili, you won't have any of this. There won't be a wedding, and I won't support you being together. Not to ntion anything else, but with Liu Lili's parents looking like that, even if you beat to death, I wouldn't beco in-laws with them."
"If you insist on continuing, then I will confiscate your little treasury. I'll only give you 300 yuan a month, letting you experience your future life in advance. This isn't a threat or a warning, Lele. I am serious."
Lu Yanyan paused, her tone softening a bit as she said.
"Lele, I have a list of girls who et my sister's standards. I'll send it to you in a few days. You can take a look and choose from among them."
Lu Lele listened to her sister's words, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.
Lu Lele never expected that she, who considered herself incredibly free, would be restricted by her sister in terms of romance.
Previously, Lu Lele was still feeling angry about the things Liu Lili had suffered, feeling that Liu Lili's parents' thinking was old-fashioned and patriarchal, and that Liu Lili was simply living in a hellish cage, needing Lu Lele to save her.
Who would have thought that Lu Lele's own guardian, the biological sister she considered very open-minded and doting, would actually hold similar views.
Matching social status.
The aning was simple. Lu Lele was a sheltered young miss born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Therefore, the partner she sought could only be a girl from the upper class who was also born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
And a girl from the ordinary people like Liu Lili was not worthy of becoming Lu Lele's lifelong partner.
Stories that were only seen in novels before had now beco a bloody reality happening to Lu Lele herself.
"Sister, your aning is..."
Lu Lele's voice carried a trace of trembling.
"I must make a choice among those girls on your list?"
Lu Yanyan nodded and said.
"If taking marriage and settling down, committing for a lifeti, is the goal, then that is indeed the case."
"Give up on Liu Lili, my dear sister. Of course, if you just intend to play around with her, gain so experience in love, I won't object. But, if you are dating her with the idea of spending your whole life together, then I won't agree."
Looking at Lu Yanyan's resolute expression, Lu Lele recalled once again the events that occurred during the last attempt.
Now, Lu Lele finally fully understood Lu Yanyan's attitude and thoroughly comprehended the reason behind Lu Yanyan's series of actions.
The reason Lu Yanyan had gone all out to help herself in the last attempt, acting as if she very much supported the relationship between her and Liu Lili, was only because Lu Lele had already made the raw rice cooked, leaving Lu Yanyan with no choice but to do so.
In reality, Lu Yanyan didn't wish for Lu Lele and Liu Lili to be together. She believed that the two of them were not people of the sa class and shouldn't harbor those "unwarranted" longings.
What a perfect "matching social status." It directly locked down Lu Lele's dating range. These four words didn't seem to have any flaws on the surface. After all, most people in high society cared about this. No one would hope that their child's future spouse would be an ordinary commoner. They all hoped to use marriage to further stabilize and improve their social status.
Just like how Liu Lili's parents felt that a girl having a high education was useless and that it was better to go out and work earlier.
Lu Yanyan felt that if Lu Lele wanted to date with marriage as the goal, she had to match in social status. Otherwise, no discussion.
So this was the truest Lu Yanyan.
So this was the truest bottleneck that Lu Lele, as a sheltered young miss, had to face.
Matching social status.
Lu Lele felt a bit of chest tightness. These four words turned into a form of invisible pressure pressing on her heart, making her almost unable to breathe.
She thought she was an eagle soaring in the sky, but in reality, she was just a canary in a cage.
How ironic.
For a mont, Lu Lele couldn't balance the complex and overflowing emotions in her heart, so she simply started crying.
